Nigerian Biochemist Sets New Guinness World Record with 75 Hours Video Game Marathon
Oside Oluwole, a Nigerian biochemist and automobile dealer known as Khoded, has recently achieved a remarkable feat by setting a new world record recognized by the Guinness World Records.
At just 24 years old, Oluwole successfully completed a marathon gaming session lasting an astonishing 75 hours, focusing on a popular soccer video game and engaging in over 500 matches during his marathon session.
This accomplishment surpasses the previous record of 50 hours, which was set by Englishman David Whitefoot back in 2022.
Oluwole’s determination to break this record was not merely for personal glory but also as a means to raise funds for a local hospital in his hometown of Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria.
The Guinness World Records highlighted Oluwole’s achievement, noting that his achievement stands out for the substantial margin by which he exceeded the previous record.
Initially set at 24 hours in 2010, the endurance record for continuous gaming has seen several challengers over the years, gradually increasing to 50 hours before Oluwole’s remarkable 75-hour milestone.
This impressive display of endurance and skill in gaming has garnered widespread recognition and serves as a testament to Oluwole’s commitment to both his passion for gaming and his community.
